→‎Replicant D-ignition: chronological cleanup, lots of missing important info (mods for first EES, OT"P" being Attack PFC(!), inability to change speed mods at beginning of OT"P", how OT"P" Challenge works)
(scratch all that; forgot that once you start filling a vial you're allowed to change vials. This makes the math wrong and much more complicated (the player has to strategically alternate vials to lose as little NITRO as possible to overflow))

''Replicant D-ignition'' was first announced at the JAEPO 2015 event, and is the sequel to ''Replicant D-action'' from [[AC DDR X2|DanceDanceRevolution X2]]. A preliminary announcement movie was released on February 18th, 2015 featuring "The Dark One" and [[RINON]], who is seen fusing six colored orbs into her body. The event started on March 5th, 2015.

'''Note:''' [[Truare!]], the final song of ''BOSS ON PARADE'', has to be unlocked and cleared on the EXTRA STAGE first (the difficulty played in clearing Truare! doesn't matter).
To begin the event, [[Truare!]], the final song of ''BOSS ON PARADE'', must be unlocked and cleared on the EXTRA STAGE first (the difficulty played in clearing Truare! doesn't matter).
 
Since August 6th, 2015, all Replicant D-ignition songs can be unlocked via ''EXTRA ATTACK''. Unlocking and clearing Truare! is still required, though.
 
The Replicant D-ignition songs have been unlocked for all players on December 24th, 2015.

The first goal is to fill the five NITRO (ニトロ) vials. Each NITRO vial corresponds to a song:

If a player always uses LIFE4 or RISKY on EXPERT or CHALLENGE and earns a AAA Full Combo on every song (thus unlocking EXTRA STAGE and meeting the requirements there as well), it is possible to earn at least 1,000 NITRO per credit and thus fill all five NITRO vials in exactly 40 credits.
If a player always uses LIFE4 or RISKY on EXPERT or CHALLENGE and earns a AAA Full Combo on every song (thus unlocking EXTRA STAGE and meeting the requirements there as well), it is possible to earn at least 1,000 NITRO per credit and thus fill all five NITRO vials in exactly 40 credits.


From July 23rd, 2015 to August 6th, 2015, the amount of NITRO obtained was doubled, allowing easier access to the Replicant D-ignition boss songs (it becomes possible to fill all five vials within 20 credits).
==== Orbs ====
Once at least one vial has been filled, the Replicant D-ignition folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE. The folder contains between one and five songs depending on which NITRO vials have been filled. '''Once opened, it cannot be exited.''' The background music and background will also change to a darker mood. Like Replicant D-action, none of the songs have a preview when hovering over them, but unlike Replicant D-action, their true BPM remains hidden.
 
The next goal is to obtain 5 orbs (オーブ) by obtaining a AA rank or above on EXPERT on each of the five songs. When playing a Replicant D-ignition song, the player's character is replaced by RINON. (The exception to this is in VERSUS PLAY: if one player has not finished the BOSS ON PARADE event yet, their character will appear as normal.)
 
After obtaining 5 orbs, [[EGOISM 440]] will appear as a sixth song in the Replicant D-ignition folder. After playing it, '''all the orbs will be lost''' regardless of whether the song was cleared or not, and will have to be collected again in order to play the song again (thus the song is playable once every six credits). By clearing EGOISM 440 with a AA or higher on EXPERT, the screen will briefly flash a sixth orb in the center of the 5 previous orbs before they are lost, signaling that the player has unlocked ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. A cutscene video then plays, featuring RINON fusing the six orbs into her body before transforming into "The Dark One".
 
The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song is [[MAX.(period)]], also on EXPERT, with "The Dark One" being the player's character. The song's modifiers are forced to 1.5x speed and Reverse as a callback to the series' first EXTRA STAGE modifiers (thus forcing the player to Full Combo a 900 BPM scroll to pass the song). In addition, the CLEARED shutter when the player passes the song is delayed by about nine seconds, synchronizing it with the shutter sound effect in the end of the song.
 
Clearing MAX.(period) unlocks "The Dark One" as a selectable dancer, and the standard Thank You For Playing screen at the end of a credit is replaced by a picture of "The Dark One" in the background of MAX.(period)'s dance stage with the text "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" and "NEXT PHASE WILL BE COMING SOON!".
 
The 2nd Phase of Replicant D-ignition started on March 26th, 2015 (removing the above Thank You For Playing screen). To enter the 2nd Phase, MAX.(period) must be cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Once again, the player is tasked with collecting five orbs, but they now appear a darker color. If the player has 5 orbs, MAX.(period) appears in the folder as an seventh EXTRA STAGE song and a new CHALLENGE chart is accessible. Similar to EGOISM 440 during the 1st Phase, attempting MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE, whether pass or fail, causes all orbs to be lost. Clearing MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE unlocks RINON as a selectable dancer. During this Phase, if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", then their character will appear like normal with "The Dark One" appearing as a backup dancer. However, if the player plays EGOISM 440, their character will still be replaced by RINON like in the 1st Phase.
 
Getting a AA rank or higher on MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart again flashes a sixth orb in the center of the five orbs before they are lost, signaling that the player has unlocked ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. A second cutscene video then plays, featuring "The Dark One" reverting back to RINON and ejecting the six orbs from her body.
 
The 2nd Phase ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song is [[Over The "Period"|Over The “Period”]], on DIFFICULT. When the song's jacket appears following the above cutscene, the words "ATTACK PERFECT FULL COMBO!!" are displayed above the words "ENCORE EXTRA STAGE", indicating that 1 Great or lower will fail the song (thus requiring the player to recollect all five orbs and re-AA MAX.(period) on CHALLENGE). Additionally, it is not possible to use the left and right buttons on the cabinet to change speed modifiers at the beginning of the song. During Over The "Period", if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", RINON will appear as a backup dancer instead of "The Dark One".


Since August 6th, 2015, when you fill up a NITRO vial of any color, the song corresponding to its color will appear in the EXTRA ATTACK folder.
==== Updates ====


==== Orbs ====
On April 9th, 2015, the first difficulty downgrade was introduced, lowering all difficulty requirements by 1 level. Thus orbs for the first six Replicant D-ignition songs can be obtained by getting an AA rank or higher on DIFFICULT as well as EXPERT, and the orb for MAX.(period) on EXTRA STAGE can be obtained on EXPERT as well as CHALLENGE. ENCORE EXTRA STAGE difficulties are correspondingly lowered one level, so obtaining EGOISM 440's orb on DIFFICULT will proceed to MAX.(period) on DIFFICULT, and obtaining MAX.(period)'s orb on EXPERT will proceed to Over The "Period" on BASIC.
Once at least one vial has been filled, the Replicant D-ignition folder will appear in the EXTRA STAGE. '''Once opened, it cannot be exited.''' The background music and background will also change to a darker mood. The next goal is to obtain 5 orbs (オーブ) by clearing the new songs found in the folder with a AA rank or above on EXPERT. When playing the Replicant D-ignition songs, the player's character is replaced by RINON. One exception to this is in VERSUS PLAY: if one player has not finished the BOSS ON PARADE event yet, their character will appear like normal. Also, none of the songs have a preview when selecting them, neither do they have their true BPM displayed, unlike in Replicant D-action.


After obtaining 5 orbs, [[EGOISM 440]] will appear in the Replicant D-ignition folder. After playing it, '''all the orbs will be lost''' (regardless of clearing the song or not) and will have to be collected again in order to play the song again. By clearing EGOISM 440 with AA or higher, [[MAX.(period)]] will be the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, with "The Dark One" being the player's character. An introduction video featuring RINON fusing the six orbs before transforming into "The Dark One" is shown before the song. Before the 2nd Phase, the standard Thank You For Playing screen was changed to an image of "The Dark One" in the background of MAX.(period)'s dance stage with "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" and "NEXT PHASE WILL BE COMING SOON!" written on it. Clearing MAX.(period) as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE unlocks "The Dark One" as a selectable dancer.
On May 1st, 2015, the second difficulty downgrade was introduced. Orbs for the first six songs can now be obtained on BASIC, and MAX.(period)'s orb can be obtained on DIFFICULT leading to Over The “Period” on BEGINNER. However, on Double Play, where BEGINNER is not available, Over The “Period” will be played on BASIC instead.


The 2nd Phase of Replicant D-ignition started on March 26th, 2015. MAX.(period) must be cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE in order to trigger the 2nd Phase. The orbs that have to be collected again are now a darker color. MAX.(period) can also now be accessed as an EXTRA STAGE song, along with its new CHALLENGE charts. Clearing MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart with AA or higher unlocks [[Over The "Period"|Over The “Period”]] as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. An introduction video featuring "The Dark One" being reverted back to RINON before the six orbs are ejected from her body is shown before the song. During the 2nd Phase, if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", their character will appear like normal, with RINON appearing as a backup dancer in Over The “Period” and "The Dark One" appearing on every other song. However, if the player plays EGOISM 440, their character will still be replaced by RINON like in the 1st Phase. Clearing MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE unlocks RINON as a selectable dancer.
From July 2nd, 2015 onwards, orbs for the first six songs can now be obtained on BEGINNER. Max.(period)'s orb can be obtained on BASIC, leading to the same difficulties for Over The "Period" as above. In addition, when Over The “Period” is cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the standard Thank You For Playing screen becomes a picture of RINON walking into a white light with the words "Replicant D-ignition" and "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" displayed. Should the player re-enter Replicant D-ignition after clearing Over The “Period”, the orbs go back to their 1st Phase brighter color.


From July 2nd, 2015 onwards, when Over The “Period” is cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the standard Thank You For Playing screen is changed into an image of RINON walking into a white light with the words "Replicant D-ignition" and "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" written on it. Should the player re-enter Replicant D-ignition after clearing Over The “Period”, the orbs that have to be collected again are now a brighter color instead of a darker color.
From July 23rd, 2015 to August 6th, 2015, for players who had not unlocked all of the first five Replicant D-ignition boss songs yet, the amount of NITRO obtained is doubled.


As of April 9th, 2015, orbs can now be obtained by obtaining a AA rank or higher on DIFFICULT as well. The difficulty that will be played on Over The “Period” depends on the difficulty you cleared MAX.(period) on during the EXTRA STAGE:
On August 6th, 2015, the Replicant D-ignition event effectively ended, and the Replicant D-ignition folder is no longer accessible; instead, any songs with filled NITRO vials appear in the ''EXTRA ATTACK'' folder. Neither RINON nor "The Dark One" are unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event. At first, only the BEGINNER and BASIC charts of the five NITRO-vial songs are accessible; further charts must be made accessible one at a time by unlocking all prerequisites for normal play via ''EXTRA ATTACK''. For the five NITRO-vial songs, the prerequisite for accessing a chart is simply its lower difficulty (that is, unlocking a song's BASIC chart for normal play gives access to that song's DIFFICULT chart on EXTRA STAGE, and so on for EXPERT).
* Clearing MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart leads to Over The “Period” being played on DIFFICULT.
* Clearing MAX.(period)'s EXPERT chart leads to Over The “Period” being played on BASIC.


As of May 1st, 2015, orbs can now be obtained by obtaining a AA rank or higher on BASIC as well. Clearing MAX.(period)'s DIFFICULT chart as the EXTRA STAGE leads to Over The “Period” being played on BEGINNER. However, on Double Play, where BEGINNER is not available, Over The “Period” will be played on BASIC instead.
Unlocking all five BASIC charts gives access to EGOISM 440's BEGINNER and BASIC charts (thus marking the first time it is playable every credit instead of once per six credits). From here, the prerequisites for accessing EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty for normal play ''and'' unlock all five charts of the same difficulty for the previous five songs. Unlocking EGOISM 440's BASIC chart also gives access to MAX.(period)'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts, and the prerequisites for accessing its DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty ''and'' unlock the same difficulty under EGOISM 440. Similarly, unlocking MAX.(period)'s BASIC chart also gives access to Over The "Period"'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts, and the prerequisites for accessing its DIFFICULT and new EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty ''and'' unlock the same difficulty under MAX.(period).


As of July 2nd, 2015, orbs can now be obtained by obtaining a AA rank or higher on any difficulty. Clearing MAX.(period)'s BASIC chart as the EXTRA STAGE leads to Over The “Period” being played on BEGINNER. However, on Double Play, where BEGINNER is not available, Over The “Period” will be played on BASIC instead.
Finally, unlocking Over The "Period"'s EXPERT chart gives access to MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart, which when unlocked gives access to EGOISM 440's new CHALLENGE chart.


From August 6th, 2015 to December 23rd, 2015, neither RINON nor "The Dark One" were unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event.
On December 24th, 2015, the above charts have been unlocked for normal play for all players. Both RINON and "The Dark One" have been automatically unlocked for all players as well. Over The "Period"'s new CHALLENGE chart is accessible on EXTRA STAGE only, and could not be unlocked for normal play until the release of [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]].


From December 24th, 2015 onwards, both RINON and "The Dark One" have been automatically unlocked for all players.


==== Unlockable Songs ====
==== Unlockable Songs ====
Since August 6th, 2015, the following songs can be unlocked via ''EXTRA ATTACK'', unlocked in this order: the NITRO vial-unlockable songs (chaos eater, Destination, HAPPY☆LUCKY☆YEAPPY, Samurai Shogun vs. Master Ninja, and Sand Blow; they can be unlocked in any order)→EGOISM 440 (up to EXPERT)→MAX.(period) (up to EXPERT)→Over The “Period”→MAX.(period) (CHALLENGE charts)→EGOISM 440 (CHALLENGE charts).
It is worth noting that the Replicant D-ignition boss songs use special background stages: the NITRO vial-unlockable songs use the same background stages as the BOSS ON PARADE songs, but colored according to the color of their respective NITRO vial. EGOISM 440 and Over The “Period” use a darker color version of the cyan Replicant D-action dance stage, while MAX.(period) uses a midnight blue version of [[Valkyrie dimension]]'s pink Replicant D-action dance stage.
